How can I mock my location on a physical device (Nexus One)? I know you can do this with the emulator in the Emulator Control panel, but this doesn't work for a physical device.
I've read this post about mocking location with custom provider, but I am looking for a way to mock the location during a presentation, is that possible?

Location from = new Location("Johan");
However, the Location(String) constructor throws a RuntimeException saying "Stub!".
How can I create a mock location?
Note that I'm running this on the plain JDK with android.jar in the path, after JUnit but before my own stuff. No device or emulator is involved. The android.jar file is from the platforms/android-1.5 directory of android-sdk-linux_x86-1.6_r1.
I encountered with a problem when I use DDMS to send mock gps location data . I checked out the source code of Android and make the latest version.Then put my test apk file of gps to the emulator and start DDMS, but when I use Emulator Control of DDMS to manually Button to send mock location data it says no GPS emulation in this virtual device. But the same apk file works fine in the SDK 1.0
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am working on an application that requires an approximate position of the user, so basically i am fine with any relatively recent location data i can get. However I can't seem to get things right using mock location data and would therefore appreciate your help. The method i'm having tries to set mock location data for the gps provider and tries to later retrievie it BUT: locationManager.setTestProviderEnabled("gps", true); seems to fail because i do not get any active location provider from the location manager. When I tried using a mock location provider with addTestProvider and give it my mock location, the LocationManager returns me this mock provider with getProviders(true) but then getLastKnownLocation returns null instead of the provided mock location.

I want to see it in real device and the bubble blinking in that location, but I didnt get anything. Please correct my code, and help me out. I used the permissions. I want build an application similatiom to location spoofer.Actually when we open google maps it will show our current location with blue blinking at our location..similarly if i changed the coordinates i.e, latitude and latitude it has to show that am at that location with blue blinking,

A number of apps around at the moment will not run on my device as its rooted. When I start the app it comes up with 'Your phone is rooted and you cannot use this app on a rooted phone'
Is it possible to temperately mock my device to deem unrooted? or trick the app to make it think the phone is unrooted?
I know this has been discussed over and over now but I just got it workign and it works perfectly on the emulator when I mock the location with long and lat however, I am still getting NULL in the location when I run the code on my phone.
here's the main code...
I developed an application that use the current location. Testing on local I can send the Latitude and Longitude by the DDM5 and I didn't have problem. When I tried to do the same thing on debugging device, didn't work and on DDM5 I can't send this information. Is there any setup to try this ? Here is the code <code> //manifest <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name ="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOC ATION" /> <uses-permission android:name= "android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCAT ION" /> //view.java -> widget configure private Location location; private LocationManager lm; private LocationListener locationListener; //onCreate lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService (Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) ; locationListener = new MyLocationListener(); lm.request Location Updates (LocationManager.GPS_PROV IDER, 0, 0, locationListener); //action *location.distanceTo private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener

View 16 Replies View RelatedI have a few questions regarding the usage of localization in android applications: Are there any interfaces available to find out when an application uses location information? Is it possible to know if the application is using coarse or fine grained location information? Is it possible to detect which type of localization is being provided, i.e. gps vs. wifi? And if the answer to any of the above question is yes, how? You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

As we can access the SQLite databases on a running emulator like below:
adb -s emulator-5554 shell
sqlite3 /data/data/package_name/databases/database_name
But what if I am testing my application on real device(HTC Here-Android) ?
where does i find my database?
While using network provider for location updates, I found that it is the same time that I set on my device. Can it not be that provided by network as it goes when it is GPS. Or if network provider cannot provide time , then atleast location.getTime() should return 0 instead of device time. Is there any way to avoid device time, as I want to distinguish it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to determine the most accurate location of a device, in the shortest time possible.I am storing the data as a geopoint, and have it displayed on a mapview.The last time I activated the GPS on my device and let it get a location lock, i was approx 80 miles from where I am now.I have a location manager setup and a location listener.If I do this, I get NULL. myLocOverlay = new MyLocationOverlay(this, mapView); GeoPoint test = myLocOverlay.getMyLocation(); but in the next couple of lines; myLocOverlay. enableMyLocation(); mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocOverlay);With this, the overlay on the map shows the current location. It is using the Network provider, but is also attempting to get a GPS fix (it can't as I am indoors and no where near the top floor).If I construct the geopoint like this Short of getting the geopoints from both GPS and Network and then comparing them, and disregarding the GPS result if it is say 1 mile out of the Network location - i'm a bit stuck. why doesn't getMyLocation() work, shouldnt that return the GeoPoint of what myLocOverlay is showing on the mapview?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOkay, here is an issue I am not sure about.when I go to the internet, Google, settings, allow use of device location.if I change that to Yes/Save/then go back out to Google it says location unavailable (whether GPS is on or off). If I hit update it won't update.so it can't find my location, any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using a ContentProvider for caching results from a web-service query. It is an HTTP request and the response content is XML. Most of the data is cached, so I simply query the DB, if not found, request from webservice, insert in DB and requery the DB. Thus the response is always a Cursor from SQLiteDatabaseHelper.
I have one result set that is not stored in the DB and since it is 100% transient, but I would like to provide the appearance of it coming from the DB's Cursor. Is there an easy way to do this? For example, if I could project it onto the cursor with a cursor.setValue("string", objectValue) or some other existing implementation.
If not, I will either bypass the DB for this content result, or stuff it into a trivial table that is constantly reused.
test my app with an android device that is using a corporate calendar.... alternatively, can you tell me how to set up a mock corporate exchange server connection (and thus corporate calendar) on the emulator?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a project to display a route in a MapView based on current location from GPS Provider. I'm able to draw the path between two points but the problem starts when the location changes to a new point causing the draw path to erase. Basically my Location Listener saves the current Geopoint and sets the new Geopoint location and after that it starts the overlay to draw a path based on those two points. I think an option could be saving the coordinates to a database and then pulling the information from there to draw the path.
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Tracking device..",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

I have xprivacy installed and even when I uncheck all options for Google maps and try to find my current location with it, the gps sign flashes in the notification area but never gets a fix on my location. My question is simple:
I think I may have accidentally deleted some GPS files from my phone /device location. How do I check or what files do I look for in particular (and their location precisely) to make sure that I deleted my files and its not an issue in some other place before I go reporting a bud to the developer.
And where exactly are the GPS driver/files located in the phone?
I am about to embark on developing a mobile application for both the iPhone and the Android based phone.I have most of my gui mock ups written down on a white board and some in my head. I need to put them down on paper so I can relay my designs to others in my team.I was wondering what the best on-line gui mockup tool I could use? I have a lot of experience with Visio and I truly like it. I want a tool that would be web based so I could collaborate with others on the team. Does anyone have a suggestion for an easy gui mockup tool that I could use?
View 19 Replies View Relatedi search a tool to develop/create mock ups for android. The only things i find are psd files (http://www. matcheck.cz /androidguipsd/ and http://chrisbrummel.com/google-android-gui-psd - not all widgets) and this tool: http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups. But this tool isn't only for android and so the look of the elements isn't equal to the android widgets (button, menu/list item etc.). If someone knows a tool, please let me know.
What exactly are mock tests... I need to know the mock and performance tests available in android for testing android apps..what is the best tool for testing android apps and how..
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there some way to force Google Maps to actually use Mock Locations?. I have mock locations turned on, on my phone and I use a seperate GPS receiver. It works in several maps, but the second I activate navigation for Google Maps I get an annoying popup telling me to activate GPS. I just want that popup to go away but cant.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a mapping app using Eclipse 3.5.I'm setting the minimum update period with the LocationManager's requestLocationUpdates method, via a configuration activity. When I set the property I see in Logcat that the system process sets the value OK.When I actually send a new location from the DDMS emulator control and the location changes on the map view, I see that the system process then sets the minimum time to zero.Below is a capture of the system's log messages. You can see that I'm setting the period to 32 seconds, then 16, then, after I've sent a simulated location change the system sets it to zero.The map responds to location changes to location changes instantly even if they are sent only a couple of seconds apart.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recentrly tested a few apps from the market changing the location using fake gps points. All of them work perfect but the locations sent via apps ( facebook for example) they show Bing maps not Google ones. I prefer gmaps because for my country they show every single street and building. Bing hasn't done that yet. What app works with google sources?
